Robert_325 I am hoping U R the expert on suboxone I am looking 4?

Robert, I appreciate your effort to help and educate in use of suboxone. My short story is I have had 5 failed/complicated, surgeries involving my heart, hip and spine. I have been on narcotic rotation since 05. I have even been on methadone accidentially, as the ignorant MD, knew I had a contra indicated condition with a defibrillator. I am a 50 y/o RN on disability.I have spent over $40,000 this year in acute care hospitals and rehabs, as I am now unable to tolerate narcotics for longer than 1 month before tolerance and interdose withdrawal develops. I recently went on a home detox with a doctor and went from Oxy 50mg a day to Suboxone 8mg to .125mg in 30 days.I have comfort meds, clonidine, immodium , phenergan, valium, metoprolol. I am using Tylenol, Aleve, Advil, I believe I have hyperalgesia?My last dose of subs were 9/8/2011. My problem is horrific depression, insomnia, sucidal ideation (no plan), immovitation, laziness, hopelessness, anorexia & pain. Any clue as to how long this could last, will it become worse, and what can I do to help? The doctor says "just hang on"Any advice will be appreciated, I really need some hope at 10 days.RR

Hey Robin, welcome to drugs.com, listen, if you want Robert, the quickest way is thru the forum/discussion board prompt under the drugs.com logo and the blue banner with clickable tabs, it is the prompt on the far right or the last text prompt on that row. you can start a thread to him if you know how to do that, I don't, but that is the fastest way to get to Robert_325!

I got of sub fin it can jus take some time im no doc. but from what I understand the drug has a potent half life that will takr much longer to leave ur system then the opies we love. it take small decreases in your does over a couple months. I am currently doing it agin cause of a relapse.
